https://repsrise.app/

I built https://repsrise.app/ to solve a problem I kept running into during my workouts: I never remembered how many reps I did last time, and I had no idea if I was improving.So I created a simple, clean web app where you can: – Log pullups, pushups, dips, etc. – Track your reps over time – Actually see your progressIt's free to use, no signup wall, and works on mobile too. Hope it helps...

I like the gamification of the cssgridgarden, it is similar to https://www.codemonkey.com/ which is mainly for kids!

I also know flexboxfroggy but as I like to "play" and less read/write I didn't find this website useful. Hope you will find it useful. If something is missing, please let me know :)

Thank you for your interest! Great question about differentiation. While phones do have built-in stopwatches, Easy Stopwatch focuses on extreme simplicity - just tap anywhere on the screen to start/stop. No tiny buttons to aim for, no confusing UI. Users particularly love this during workouts or when their hands are busy/wet. Would love to hear what features matter most to you in a stopwatch app!

Creator here! I built Easy Stopwatch because I found myself frustrated with overly complex time tracking apps. The core idea is radical simplicity: just tap to start and tap to stop.

I focused on making it completely ad-free and distraction-free since I believe time tracking should help you focus, not distract you. Would love to hear how others handle their time tracking needs and what you think about this minimalist approach.

What features do you consider essential vs. unnecessary in a time tracking app? I'm particularly interested in hearing from other developers who've worked on similar tools.
